Rocket

Hi… my name is Rocket (aka Rocky),

Adopted 11-1-17

Rocket comes with Free Vet Care for Life

When you’ve lived with your people since you were 5 weeks old (and now you’re 10), you can understand why I’m shy in this strange new place! I’m a pretty reserved guy to begin with (but was a “total lap cat” with my senior mom and dad), so things are going to be doubly hard for me for a while. I long for a quiet home (dad was said to have an impressively loud voice which sometimes disconcerted me!), with a patient, understanding person who’ll give me the time I need to adjust to a new life. I know there are people like that out there, so I’m hopeful you’ll be the one to give this declawed gentleman (with free vet care) a chance to shine!

Freeway

Hi… my name is Freeway,

Adopted 11-10-17

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Kaysee

Hi… my name is Kaysee,

Adopted 11-18-17

Although I might be initially shy when you first meet me, it’s “Katie, bar the door” once I get to know you! After my mom died there was no one who could give me a new home, so my girlfriend, Kitsee, and I need to find a new person to love. According to mom’s friend, “Kaysee loves to play with almost anything, adores being brushed, and with a bit of patience and love, she’ll be all over you!” (Just ask the volunteers here – they’ve already been treated to my special brand of affection!) I’m a 5½-year-old declawed girl who’d love to spend the rest of my life showing you how right everyone is about me (and it’d be nice if Kitsee could come along, too)!

Rascal

Hi… my name is Rascal,

Adopted 10-24-17

Note: Bio needs update. I was a lost dog, without a human to call my own and that’s just no way to live. It’s dangerous and lonely. So I was very grateful when a wonderful lady took me home, but her landlord does not allow animals, so we had to part ways. I was shy with her and felt the same way here at first, but now I’m meeting lots of people and enjoying the company. Once comfortable, I’m a lively guy and would make a great companion for someone with an active lifestyle. I know “sit,” and will greatly appreciate a patient someone who’ll teach me things a good dog knows. At two years old, I’m a handsome, tricolored Shepherd mix male, about 58 pounds, who’s hoping you’ll come see me real soon and make me yours.

Bentley B

Hi… my name is Bentley B (aka Tim),

Adopted with Bailey 12-22-17

I grew up with two other shepherds in outdoor kennels. Then Bailey and I were adopted together, and we learned how wonderful living indoors with people can be! But a human roommate became allergic to us and so we’re back, hoping for one more chance to belong to someone. I still take a little time to warm up to people I don’t know, but once acquainted, my sweet nature shines through; I love attention and will be very loyal to my person. Walks are great—I’m good on a leash, know some commands including sit and come, and was gentle and tolerant with three children in my former home. I’m a handsome 3-1/2-year-old male with a brown, black and white coat, about 71 pounds, and I bet we could be great together forever!

Bailey

Hi… my name is Bailey (aka Lady),

Adopted with Bentley B 12-22-17

I grew up with two other shepherds in outdoor kennels. Then Bentley and I were adopted together, and we soon learned how wonderful living indoors with people can be! But a human roommate became allergic to us and so now we’re back, hoping for one more chance to share a happy home with caring loved ones. I still take time to warm up to people I don’t know, but once acquainted, my sweet nature shines through; I can be a great cuddler and thrive on your attention. I was gentle and tolerant with three children in my former home, know a few commands and how to walk on a leash. A beautiful tan, black and white 3-1/2-year-old female Shepherd mix, I’m shy but am hopeful that you’ll see how great we can be together.

Roseanne

Hi… my name is Roseanne,

Adopted 1-1-18

Child abuse doesn’t just happen to humans. I arrived at TALGV with a massive wound on my head and taken to the vet where they discovered that I’d also had a recently broken jaw. After months of treatment and recovery, I’m living with a foster mom (who thinks my injuries were inflicted with a shovel), and she says that despite everything, I’m a sweet, happy girl. I have sight and hearing loss on my left side and have some neurological damage (mom says that I’ll be “locked forever in a puppy world” as my learning curve is a bit slow), but I love people, get along fine with the resident dogs and cats, am housebroken, and am learning to walk on a leash, so everyone is hoping that I can find a super special person to give me lots of love and consistency in my life. If you consider me when you’re ready to “pay it forward,” you won’t be sorry!

P.S. Things you should know about me (from my foster mom): I’m hearing and sight-impaired on my left side. I have permanent neurological damage (sort of like a Down Syndrome child). My tail wags almost all the time. I didn’t used to know what toys were, but I’m learning. I’m learning to trust people, too. I go into my crate (my “safe place”) if I’m frightened. I’m housebroken (I go to the door). I like dogs and cats (especially dogs!). I’m a sweet, happy girl who gets along with all people and kids. I am getting better and better with leash training every day. I need patience and consistency and a “pattern” to my life.

And most of all: I need time and understanding and guidance and love.

Tink

Hi… my name is Tink,

Adopted 1-20-18

You say you like the feel of velvet? Well, step right up ‘cause I’m here waiting to give you a tactile treat! And if that doesn’t do it, my personality will win you over in about two minutes! After the toddler in my little family developed allergies, they had to ever-so-reluctantly relinquish me, but they’ve given me a super reference: “Tink loves to get belly rubs, to cuddle, to get attention, and to relax. He’s very friendly and kind to dogs and kids [but not alpha cats!]. He’s just amazing and a new owner won’t be sorry with him!” I’m a handsome 7-year-old declawed jet-black gentleman who’s sure to be one of the most unforgettable cats of your life no matter how many great felines you’ve had!

Dilly

Hi… my name is Dilly,

Adopted 1-5-20

If it weren’t for my diminutive size, you might think I’m a Maine Coon, but no, I’m simply a little “mini-Maine!” My mom adopted me as a kitten, and we lived a happy life together until she developed severe health issues. It was a sad parting, but she said if you give me some time and patience, I’ll be just as loving with you as I was with her (especially if I’m an “only child”!). She said I know my name, am very calm, and love to be petted. I’m a sweet girl with lots of purrs to share (especially in bed at night!), so I hope you’ll be the one to give me that chance!

Stella

Hi… my name is Stella,

Adopted 10-24-17

Friendly and sweet, active and adventurous—I hope you like that combination because those words describe me! After my buddy Lobo (a Husky/Shepherd mix) and I escaped from their place, our people decided to bring us here so we could find a home where we’d be more likely to happily stay put. My former people said I was gentle and tolerant with children (ages 9 to 16)—indeed, they said I “love children”—and got along with other animals. I’m friendly here, too, playful, and enjoying the attention. They call me a Rottie mix female, but I have a slender build and weigh just 53 pounds at 10 months. These days, true to my sweet nature, I’m eager to be someone’s loyal and loving companion forever. Could you and I be the perfect combination?
